You Decide Your Own Level of Involvement

I like to be able to be my own casting director.  There are certain actors and actresses that inspire me and make me wonder, how would this thesbian handle this role?  And thus a new character is born. It's easier to see my latest series - Eliza the Dimension Traveler Of course most of these people are from my favorite tv shows. I'm going to explain the cover, that's actually not Eliza aka Marlene, she's African American but it was really hard to find a cover that had a black female with the elements that I wanted.  I definitely wanted a crystal ball, so in the main picture is a character that Marlene aka  Eliza, meets in the second part of the series named Addison. But if this were to be a show or a movie or whatever, I'd choose the following as my cast even though, I realize that it's unlikely to happen. Marlene aka Eliza - Katerina Graham Prince David - I don't have a Prince David yet, I want to say Mark Sailling but he's not black - some...

This isn't about anything in the media or what I regularly talk about here, but it's about something that's near and dear to my heart.  http://butidideverythingrightorsoithought.blogspot.com/ But I Did Everything Right Or So I Thought Blog. It's a perfect name, because it's something that's rang in my head for the past year and a half.  I went to school and got my degree in Communications and Technology and a minor in English.  Why?  Because I enjoyed it and I was good at it. I'm not saying that because I went to college that I should be guaranteed a job, but on a regular basis I wonder if I made the right decision.  I'm 24 years old and not working in the field of my choice.  Should I have gone about this another way?  But which way is that?  I would never have been able to apply for a job as a Public Relations Assistant or a Assistant to a Communications Director with only a high school diploma, I would lose against the person with the c...

I like this cover a lot, that's why I'm sharing it with you before the story is even out.  Ha, sorry I just have a few things to work on, I've already been working on it since I got home (3/4 hours give or take a half hour) and if I sit in this chair too long I'll need a doctor to fix my back. But I found this great picture for the cover and thought it would be great it fits the new character to a tee and I think people will enjoy it.  So far 74 people have downloaded the story since I last checked and I'll tell you a little about Madrid. She is a socialite, who dabbles in fashion, acting, and perfumes but since this is an alternate reality no one pays her any mind, all the money goes to the teachers, the professors, and the doctors.  More academically inclined people.  In this reality, entertainment is looked down on as playing, music, art, and fashion aren't that important like it is in Marlene, the main character's world. Marlene is forced to meet M...

Yes, more Canadians, but this is related to the ice dancing of the Olympics.  At first I thought the Olympics were an annoyance and interruption from my tv shows until I saw Tessa and Scott and I have to say... Tessa and Scott are awesome.  Look at them. It's so ridiculous because they make it look so easy, lets just go out onto the ice and do this routine, like it's no problem.  Like Kourtney Kardashian just pulling out her baby like she was picking up a tomato at the supermarket.  I'll get to that later. But they just have so much poise and grace, it's incredible, it's amazing to watch them, I feel like time stops when they're dancing.  They're so cute.  And they're funny too... That was them at a Gala Performance. Great work they put the elegant Nutcracker music first and then Everybody Dance now together in the same program, it's so much fun to watch. I think I like them so much because they're young, I'm only two year...

Of course this album came out last year, but it's very rare that I can play a whole album all the way through and enjoy it without going running for the 'next' button when I certain song comes on.  Groups like, Zero 7, Ivy, and the singers Dido and Aaliyah have this affect on me.  Every song is dead on wonderful and Anjulie is one of them, hopefully it'll always be this way, will it Anjulie? First of all I really like her name.  That's it, it's a nice name. Second of all, I have a hobby of music hunting it started when Roswell was on, and I'd hear a song and run right over to the Roswell Music.net I think it was called and there it was.  At that time there was no itunes or digital downloads so I had to actually order the cd from Amazon and wait for it in the mail.  Waiting for The Crystal Method's Vegas was the longest one. But I digress, I first heard this song on Melrose Place when Lauren, it hurts a little that the prostitue on the show is named...

I've started a new novella, but it may be even shorter than a novella that features the warriors of Deltor, Lovo, Mallobo, Dajus and Trystan.  It'll be up soon and ready for your viewing pleasure. Maybe if you like it so much you'll buy the novella The Visions of Koto-Ryin. The Visions of Koto-Ryin www.laurenjohnson.me More later.  I'm into chapter three.

Yesterday I saw Revenge of the Fallen the second Transformers movie.  The first one I thought was really good but I didn't like it as much as I love this move. It was great.  I really did miss Jazz, but I think that might have been because of that Robot Chicken spoof.   Transformers clip from here I couldn't even be pissed at the fact that Heery Casting did the well, casting for the extras in the movie and I really wanted to go and be in it but they didn't pick me.  I was an extra for a an unaired pilot but that was way back in Dec 07.  There's a video floating around out there of me somewhere, cuz I was right up front when they got the Verdict.  Which was the name of the show Verdict Link .  I was there for two days and it was freakin cold, but it was a pretty cool $90 to make.  I got to see Robin Givens. At any rate, sometimes I go through a couple of stinkers before I get to some really cool movies and after seeing the Count of Monte Cri...
